Life Every Voice and Sing is the National Anthem For African Americans

Stop making everything good and everything I love into something at best meaningless and at worst tragic. You guys are Awful humans, please stop stop stop

Hey great work on taking Adam Neely’s video!

To be honest it took me maybe 15 to 30 minutes to learn the national anthem

Best renditions are Whitney Houston, Marvin Gaye, Boyz II Men, Destiny's Child, José Feliciano & Mariah Carey. All amazing 👍

No, the Russian National Anthem is the best

No wonder no one remembers it.

You stole this from Adam neely

I dont think anything's wrong with the national anthem, i can sing it fine. It seems like you guys are trying to make it seem hard, really.

They make it sound like hearing the national anthem is a rare occurrence but it’S LITERALLY PLAYED EVERY MORNING AT MY SCHOOL AND STUDENTS CAN VOLUNTEER TO SING IT AND IT HURTS SO MUCH TO LISTEN TO SOMEONE CHANGE THE KEY DURING “and the rockets red glare”

Calico Taylor Every morning at you school? Welcom to the national socialist states of America I guess.

Oof, we had to sing this song for choir :,)

I had to learn the US National anthem when I was about 11 years old and did not find it that difficult? Neither the range or remembering the words. Looking back it may have been easier for me since it was for choir, which may be why i still don't find it hard. But are there really that many Americans who have this much trouble with it? BTW I'm Canadian, had to learn the Star Spangled Banner (with the accompanying sign language) for a movie they filmed at my elementary school

*Mariah Carey did it*

I’ve never had trouble singing it before?

"Oh it's hard so lets lower the standards for everyone!" sounds like Vox

We had to sing the national anthem all though elementary school😂 R.I.P my voice.

0:26 this is why we need communism

Replace it with the team America song

A Dam Nee Lys Bassleeeeee Sssoooooooonnnnnsssssss

Leave it up to vox to put something in every video about slavery or how white people did something wrong.

I think "This Land Is Your Land" would be an excellent national anthem. And it doesn't have the disturbing slavery undertones the other verses of our anthem has.

Without even watching I knew it was going to be an Adam Neely repeat

This ending was so beautiful :')

adam neely

You forgot the greatest anthem of all.... the Soviet National Anthem.

French anthem is a war anthem about taking arms to slaughter the invading enemy. We’ve often discussed changing it to something less gruesome for sports events, but it’s not going anywhere either due to the importance of the country’s violent past.

Worst anthem on earth

Does anyone know how many octaves "Amhrán na bhfiann" goes up cause the "faoi lámhach na bpilear" part goes pretty high. (I think k that's how you spell it?)

Kiwi anthem only has 1 note, beat that!!!

Roseanne Barr still did the best version.

India

No mention of Jimi? I’m disappointed vox.

It honestly doesn't matter that Whitney Houstons performance was prerecorded, because we're still listening to Whitney Houston give a performance. A performance in the recording booth is just as valid as live ones, because when musicians are recording parts in the recording studio, they're doing it live there.

Gucci Gang should be our new national anthem

The national anthem is perfect you commies

God, Fergie sounded like nails raking across a chalkboard. Whitney Houston, on the other hand...Jesus. gives ya chills

Thank you plagiarism

No. We do not need a new National Anthem. This is what makes us America!!!!

Go Canada!

If you feel good about your country the anthem is always good to sing (in America’s case— if you can sing) it doesn’t have to be so challenging that you can enjoy it only in events where people actually can sing. Let everyone sing, let everyone enjoy every time, anytime.

'Jose can you see...there is blood in my pee' This is how I heard US national anthem for the longest time.

If I had to change the U.S. anthem, I would change it to America the Beautiful or God Bless America

Fun fact I live right down the road from Fort McHenry and they have a haunted house there every year!

i have sung it. it is easy. stupid video.

commie bastards

Marvin GAYE genius

It was written in the eighteenth century dialect of English do you really expect it to make perfect since today

Soviet Russia Is The Best.

The fall of American democracy began on the day when Donald Trump became president-elect.

ugh the ENTIRE section where u were interviewing telesco made me cringe. MATCH THE PIANO WITH HER VOICE PLEASE

**triggered Americans**

Fergie take notes

Many american singers make songs sound overdramatic.

Look up Arturo Sandoval play the national anthem because it’s amazing

On the interval that’s a tenth there’s usually a rest there to get a breath in so you can start again on the and the rockets red glare it’s not like you’ll sing right through a rest not hating but just noticed this.

.I think our national anthem is fine and shouldn’t be changed because it’s a symbol of the pride we take in our flag and our country its different from other nations anthem but I think that’s just what makes us unique.

americans are so russian! so full of themselves, basically a real life matrioshka

As much as I love and respect Cab Calloway I thought he was singing "That's amore" at 5:36 !

4:58 WOMP WOMP

Adam Neely was so nice about this you should be so grateful!

New anthem, please. It's the song of the people, it should be easy and sung by all.

This video just sucks.

USSR national anthem is the perfect anthem

adam neely

At least James tried

Honestly, the Battle Hymn of the Republic would be kinda badass.

America the beautiful should be the national anthem

It takes skill in this country not pity Get talent and learn from your mistake's

Copied from Adam Neely

Russian anthem

It don't even slap tho

lol wtf never knew this song was so difficult. I learned it when I was little and haven't forgotten a word and am still able to sing it (to at least a decent degree).

This is why a lawyer should never be a poet!

Lift every voice and sing is the black anthem, guys.

I feel like any person who plays sports in America (especially football) knows the song by heart because they play it so much!

So we got to change the national anthem because some snowflakes can’t sing it?

Not your nation. Name one single law you drafted or made. Name one you can change, right now. You're living under someone else's rules, under someone else's flag, trying to sing someone else's song. It's not your nation.

I've never had an issue singing our national anthem. It's not actually an issue for those who... Idk... Can remember the lyrics to a song?

I just like how they make the one woman who's for the anthem look dumb and stupid and like she doesn't know what she's talking about while the black hair lady is intelligent and smart then they try to say Francis was a slave holder. Now they actually might be right but he lived in Boston which was a northern state were there was no slavery then they say that one line was about slavery when it was talking about British refugees when you look at the context but they conveniently only show the one line. Plus the anthem isn't going to change. Its like those who want us to use the metric system. Just because the world uses something doesn't mean we have to.

the only ones who can really really sing the national anthem are basically Whitney Hudson beyonce Jennifer Hudson Demi Lovato and Kelly Clarkson

Yo im not american but this is so interesting. 🤩

PLAGIARISM

Stolen video

I'm not even american but I think your anthem is very very good, it doesn't sound too patriotic but rather sounds very hopeful..

A.N. :/

NO, Russia’s national anthem is 👌😫💯🅱️💸

The problem is that American anthem is not iconic, our national anthem is the most famous. Plus, on a gagné le coup du monde.

I understand that you skipped Hendrix because he doesn't sing it, but his is the greatest version ever recorded, hands down.

Why all examples of people singing the US anthem are in sports events? Don't you have any other place to show patriotism?

try changing the lyrics? plz dont criticize me

how about you don't rip off adam neely

Y’all normies don’t have a vocal range of at least 2 octaves? Or know any metric modulation? Or how to subdivide? Good. Neither do I.

4:58 the comment about Francis Scott Key being a slave holder was actually unnecessary under this video’s context. Nice try causing drama about the national anthem.

In Singapore we sing our national anthem everyday

here a bright idea just change that national anthem into that song saying let freedom rings

ADAM NEELY KNOCKOFF

Easy as your “ABC”, love America.

False, it easy to sing

lol we sing our national anthem every single day at school for our flag ceremony (i thought every other country does that)

Im not American but I can sing the anthem with ease. Is it really that hard?
